I have not seen a better app regarding notes and organizing to do lists as this one. Also using tags and search function makes it easy to find your notes. Ticking of your to do list makes projects much easier. The free version is limitted, but functional enough to make good use of it. Awsome app!

Recurrent tasks only in paid version.. :-/ Not interested enough to buy it after quick look. There are many nice looking alternative applications with better functionality in both free and paid versions

Nice app, very functional but gave it only 3 stars as the "free" version is limited to 4 projects. No way I can evaluate the functionality and utility with this limitation. I have uninstalled it.

This could become a really nice app but it's not flawless yet. Some things don't work (empty trash for example, or some tags don't appear after being selected, buttons disappear,... ) and the app doesn't respond to every tap you make. Won't use it for now until the user experience is better. Edit: trying it one more time after one year. Conclusion: after 10min of testing, it's still buggy. I still don't trust it to become my main productivity tool although I would really like to use it on a daily basis since I'm a GTD practitioner. Will try again in one year...

Great app overall. I like the soft neutral colors of the interface. The reference section is a challenge for me to get the hang of however, as my documents are primarily saved in Google drive and id like to be able to quickly put links to files. Would also help if there was a widget to quickly add notes and toss into the inbox. When I'm on the go I usually don't have time to navigate button clicks.

This app has everything I need and it does it well. There's no bloat, it keeps things simple and has just enough structure to contextualize tasks well

Hands down the best personal project planner ever. Tags, place, people, you name it and your task is categorized. Love the ux and the sync between web and mobile apps. However, it does not support some features that could make it even more awesome. Few of them being widgets and notifications. If this app were to sync with Google Calendar, then its a whole package. I see that devs actually care what people think, so I am hoping big things for this.

Thanks for the review Anish. I'm glad to hear that there is so much you love about the app and I'll be sure to add you voice to the feature request log on these other ideas. All the best, support@nirvanahq.com

Glad that I'm one of beta testers who report a few bugs. The team behind it has great emphasize on their software quality equally as customer satisfaction. Feature-wise, it may seems behind the competition. But what implemented are executed in a more polish and intuitive way.

One of the best so far Nirvana has helped organize the things I need to do into logical buckets with some nice perks like setting effort level or time requirements. I liked it enough to buy a year sub but after some daily use, there are definitely things I want/need that don't exist yet and make me wonder if I made the right choice for me. Lack of push notifications or reminders of deadlines is the biggest issue for me as a forgetful person. Widgets would also be incredibly useful. Otherwise a solid app.

Impressed (but.....) Alas, I am unable carry on with Nirvana, but it's a shame really. It's crying out for a widget, for the inbox at least and, dare I say it, some sort of notification system (the GTD gods will disapprove, I know) for those that need one. I get the impression that the focus is almost entirely on iPhone etc and with no Android update since May things don't look set to change. It's a shame, because apart from the above, I found it the most intuitive task manager I've found yet and I'll keep an eye on it.

I've been a Nirvana Pro user since September 7, 2013. I use Nirvana every day, including weekends. Nirvana is always visible in one of my pinned browser tabs, or an entire monitor is dedicated to its use. I use Nirvana on my Android phone. I use Nirvana on my Android tablet. I'm pretty sure my entire life would collapse into a heap of rubble if the service were unavailable or discontinued. I've tried the others, and they fail dismally within the GTD context.

Surprisingly, this seems to be the only Android app designed for GTD (as opposed to to-do apps that give you labels and require you to design a system with them). It's not the most polished app (no Material Design or notifications, for example), but it's certainly very usable. Recommended.

Excellent app, helped my transition from iPhone to Android, thought I would never be get out of omnifocus UPDATE 28Nov2016: downgrading from 5star to 1star, in spite of repeated reminders the developer is not looking at calendar integration in Android, as a result u need to maintain separate calendar tracker, also somehow I get feeling that developer is more obsessed with the iPhone version where anyway omnifocus rules, Nirvana USP is android, not sure why trying to b a "mee too" app on Apple and compete with omnifocus, u can't win that anyday...(Pls focus on Android where there is no competition from omni)

Simple but powerful Free app gave me a chance to personally test the app. I immediately fell in love with projects and the ease of moving tasks up or down the list. I upgraded to Pro because I wanted unlimited projects and devices. Money well spent. So much value.

Best Omnifocus equivalent available on Android One of the biggest reasons I've wanted to keep my Apple devices was Omnifocus. I have finally found a good looking app that fulfills the large majority of Omnifocus' functions, which is good enough for me. Thank the flying spaghetti monster for this app.

Great potential wasted This app could have been so great. A really nice, simple user interface, slick design ...... and all completely ruined by a lack of subfolders. It just makes it IMPOSSIBLE to organise anything.

Can't even start. It asked to install Crosswalk Runtime first, so I do as it said. But then when I start your app (after installing Crosswalk, ofc), it stuck at tutorials/introduction. I can't swipe or close it. And if you ask about my signal, it was good and I even try it on wifi. Fix it please.

Great, especially for people new to gtd I've tried several other ways at implementing gtd including the secret weapon and todoist. This is the easiest and most convenient way for me with a speedy setup. It does everything I could want and the web app is awesome too. I usually don't bother reviewing apps, but this one was too awesome to not review. Great job! Edit: their support team is also fantastic.

I've tried all gtd software on the market, even a self hosted wiki server & hours setting up rtm, evernote and onenote. This knocks them all out of the park, simple enough not to find organising a project itself, and still aesthetically pleasing.

Excellent app, but I've found one serious issue: when I make "new action" if I accidentally press the phone's back key it discards everything straight away. Why not add prompt to save it (like when you press the "X" button or better to save it anyway.

This app helped me finally understand how GTD should work. Several years ago I sometimes had 5 reminders bugging me at one time, which led to my frustration and ignoring them. It is very hard to be in control of your tasks when they are the ones interrupting you, instead of you calmly planning and dealing with them. For sure I still have reminders for my most urgent tasks elsewhere, but when it comes to organizing my personal short term and long term to-do's and finally making peace with them, Nirvana's interface is perfect for me.

Awesome app. Update 3/5/16: I can now long press the + icon to quickly add tasks to the Inbox. The swipe-right-from-left-edge to see the menu remains buggy; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm still waiting for the ability to add tasks to top of list. "My Review: My primary use of the app is for managing my school assignments using the Project list. I set due dates and choose what actions I need to take. Nice clean design."

Widget Please! I truly like the Android app but I still think that it needs a bit more polish :) Well done guys, I'm with you for about 3 years now and I love your work. It makes my day a lot more easy.
